Borderlands – How to farm Pirate’s Booty challenge

borderlands-2

A challenge "Pirate's Booty" asks you to open lots (25/75/150/250/375) of Pirate Weapon Chests.

Obviously, most pirate chests in existence are in the Leviathan's treasure room, but it is only accessible twice during the main and the encore quest.

What is the best route to farm pirate chests outside quests? Is there an obscure way through quests that yields lots of chests?

Best Answer

Most chests in one place are in Leviathan's Lair - 14 of them, countung the one in secret chamber. Leviathan's treasure room is accessible twice during the questline, plus there is a glitch to break into it later. There are hosts of instructions on Youtube, but I've found this one to be the easiest.

I'm about to start a second playthrough of Captain Scarlett, and will try to mark down all chests I find. If anyone has that information, let's work together!
